The Kents #3

Part three of DC's twelve-part saga "A Saga of Truth, Justice & the American West" continues with this striking 1997 entry in The Kents, written by John Ostrander with cover art by Timothy Truman. The cover sweeps you into a turbulent frontier moment: a dark-cloaked rider on horseback charges forward brandishing a saber and revolver, while looming behind him in panel-like strips are four figures — a stern-jawed man, a Black man in a period uniform, a young woman, and a partially visible fourth face — all framed against a glowing full moon bearing the Superman shield. It's a vivid promise that the Kent family legacy runs deep into America's most violent chapter, and "Bleeding Kansas, Pt. 3" looks every bit as gripping as that history deserves.
